         MEMORANDUM FOR:  Director  of Central Intelligence
                          Deputy  Director of Central Intelligence

         VIA:              Executive Director
                          General  Counsel
         FROM:            Brian  Latell
                          Director,  Center for the Study of
                             Intelligence
         SUBJECT:         JFK  Review Board Actions on CIA Records
         REFERENCE:       Letter  to DCI fr Executive Director,
                          ARRB  dtd 21 June, 1995, Same Subject


              1.  Action Requested.   That you disapprove the DO recommen-
         dation for you to  sign the attached letter to the President.  The
         letter recommends that  the President postpone the release by the
         JFK Assassination Records  Review Board (ARRB) of the names of two
         CIA employees who retired  under cover.  (C)

              2.  Background.   On 7 June 1995, the ARRB made a formal
         determination to release  in full to the National Archives 16
         CIA documents from  Lee Harvey Oswald's 201 file.  The President
         John F. Kennedy Assassination  Records Collection Act of 1992
         stipulates that the  President has 30 days after written notifica-
         tion of such determinations  to either request the disclosure or
         postponment of disclosure  of documents.  Appeals procedures also
         require that the Agency  advise the White House Counsel within
         seven days of notification  of Board actions, if we wish to
         appeal.  The Agency was  notified on 21 June 1995 (see reference).
         OGC will unofficially  notify White House Counsel within the
         seven-day period  of the DO objection to release.  (U)

              3.  This Center  has worked closely with the Board and its
         staff and has declassified  about 220,000 pages of Agency records
         that have been  sent to the National Archives.  A large percentage
         contain redactions,  however, and it is those excisions that are
         now being systematically  reviewed by the Board which has full
         access to the unredacted  records.  The Board will meet more or
         less monthly and  is likely to press for lifting a significant
         percentage of CIA's  redactions.  The pending determination is the
         first taken by  the Board involving Agency records.  (U)


                                                         CL BY:  195387
                                                         DECL:   OADR
